Award-winning novelist, Chris Brookmyre, has today been announced as the guest author for the Bookface Sip and Swap event.

Heather Suttie, who started Bookface during lockdown, said: "I’m thrilled to bits Chris is joining us, I devoured 'The Cliffhouse' and can’t wait to hear Chris chat about the inspiration for this nightmarish plot, hen weekends can be hellish but this one is next level.

“The Bookface events are great for saving money and being sustainable as the swap element is a big hit people who love a great book and guests recycle books and pick up new ones from every genre, perhaps picking up titles they might not otherwise have chosen to read."
